Ingredients
- 400 g tin cannellini beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
- 100 g (~ 3 1/2 oz) feta cheese, roughly crumbled
- 1 small clove garlic, peeled
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt (if needed)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except for the salt to a food processor, and blitz thoroughly until well combined.
- Remove the lid and scrape down the edges, tasting for seasoning. Add the salt at this point if you feel it's needed (feta can be quite salty, so you may not need any extra). You can also add a splash of water or a dash of extra virgin olive oil if you feel the hummus needs loosening up.
- Blitz again until the hummus is as smooth as you would like it.
- Serve chilled. I like to serve mine topped with a little extra crumbled feta and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Notes
You can use chickpeas or any other type of canned bean if you prefer (though obviously the colour will end up different if you use a non-white bean!).
This hummus can be stored in the fridge in an air-tight container for 3 days.
